Have been working through $CEL #celsiusnetwork's $750m Series B round. Will share #googlesheets file tomorrow. Here's a preview.
3 Dec 2021 #Celsius resolved to issue up-to 36,930 Series B shares at a price of US$20,469 per share. As at 2 Feb 2022 total of 32,182 Series B shares had been issued. I'm presuming #bnktothefuture will have closed out the balance. Image
The #Celsius Cap table (as at 2 Feb) with pre/post money for each issue. Image
#tether have done well out of their investment in #celsiusnetwork
Their total investment of US$63m post Series B is valued at US$245m an uplift of $182m (3.9x) Image
#westcap and CDP invested just shy of $590m for what is essentially a minority stake.....they have a bunch of rights sown into the articles. Which I'll go through tomorrow. But net for net they have been (in my opinion) far more generous than they should have. Image
What's pretty clear is that the generous valuation is at least in part based on the belief that #Celsius can be flipped into a #SPAC or #IPO Image
Image
The Lead investors have set hurdle rate for the liquidity event at 1.5x their Series B investment - which equates to pricing a SPAC reverse at US$4.8Billion....Following announcement of the series B Mashinsky was blowing his trumpet that Celsius would be worth 7.5-10B next round. Image
btw I'm NOT a fan of #celsius I believe a) their model is flawed and un-sustainable; b) marketing is wholly misrepresentative; c) $CEL its so tightly held and controlled it does not meet the definition of a market...

So finally got around to plugging in #tether's Dec 2021 attestation numbers. So their non-token debt is now up to 57m which means their net assets are down to $137m imagine having 80Billion in assets and still having to borrow money each quarter to fund operations.... Image
oh and the increase in debt between quarters is $41m which just happens to be the fine #tether copped.
tomorrow i'll publish the link to the financials.

Look at that....Primo directorship of a UK company with GBP1Billion of capital (US$1.Billion give or take). Pretty cool hey.....and even better....he had the best investors.... Image
Himself. Why have outside investors when you can write the cheque yourself. pretty cool being able to write a single check for $1.4billion..... Image
but then again....things might not have gone to plan. Someone forgot to file accounts and got struck off...Geewizz how much bad luck can you have... Image

Pondering the tax consequences of the #celsius #hodl and #accrued profits come tax time. I thought I'd brush up on my #cryptotax understanding I found the following blog to be really clear, concise and useful.
cryptotrader.tax/blog/the-trade… h/t @coinledger
The tax framework I had assumed would be applicable was/is pretty well as I expected. Most of which I've learnt over the years the hard way by getting shit wrong (don't get me started on the pain of get pegged in the bum by the tax-office for failing rollover relief tests).
Paying the tax piper..Income tax or Capital Gains. What's not well understood by the swinging dick muppet brigade is referals fee's, staking, mining, shilling and lending ..... that's ALL income tax. You might think it all pools into one big HODL fantasy. but it don't.

Just read your article on optionsxo fintelegram.com/tag/optionsxo/
I concur with your thoughts on #tomerlevi he was central to these scams
#tomerlevi was named as the owner in court filing against #toromedia #binaryoptions #scam

I came across these thieves while looking at $isx customer Insightgroup OU. #isignthis was (I guess still is) seeking $1.6m damages from @ASX why? apparently #insightgroup was so infuriated by the "false" #ASX claims against #isignthis it terminated its services. @FinTelegram

@newmoneyreview Well this is the next thing to look at....who actually paid for and were issued CEL tokens at 30c ....ftx and bitfinex I'm guessing between the three and their perifeey they would control literally the whole market...it trade a like a non bouncing dead cat.
@newmoneyreview CEL tokens issued 30cents went 10x by Q3-2020...Dec 2020 the last month of the financial period the price went vertical closing year out at $5.45. adding $2B to Celsius balance sheet....ironically rather than be penalised for issuing far more than market demand
@newmoneyreview they instead gorged their own balance sheet by holding in treasury. How anemic would this balance sheet be if the treasury shares were booked at cost (zero) or issue price (30cents).

What they say: we share our profits with the community
What they do: We retain 100% of communities assets and profits until you close your account. Image
